Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
804 PM PDT Sun May 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge will continue to dominate the 
offshore forecast waters of Baja California through at least mid-
week. This system will continue to support moderate to fresh NW 
to N winds W of the Baja California peninsula. Winds will pulse 
to strong speeds N of Cabo San Lazaro tonight and Mon night. NW 
swell is forecast to impact the outer forecast waters of Baja 
California Norte beginning on Mon. Seas are expected to build 8 
to 10 ft N of Punta Eugenia through Wed, with seas subsiding 
below 8 ft by Thu. Moderate concentration of smoke, due to 
agricultural fires across the region, will reduce visibility 
over portions of southern Mexico. Tropical cyclone formation is 
not expected during the next 7 days.
